ICC Men's T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier B has started, with the matches being hosted by Qatar. A total of 3 matches have been completed so far, with Qatar winning over Thailand in the first match. As with usual Asian qualifying tournaments, most of the teams are entirely comprised of foreigners, with Bhutan and Thailand being the only teams with native players. Bhutan lost out to United Arab Emirates in the second match, with Thinley Jamtsho top-scoring for the former with 28 runs. 

West Indies are strong but they cannot compete with teams stronger than them.  Because the example of this is the England team, although the West indies  has defeated England in fourth matches, but they did not win the series.  Yes because they have not played well in the first 3 matches and have not won a match during that time.  West Indies performance is going well in the first 5 overs but unfortunately rain stopped West Indies from playing well.  Even if West Indies win this match, this series will be won by England 3 2.  Therefore, playing this match or not will not make any difference in England's victory.  But even in this match, West Indies could see their strength, but if they had seen it in the earlier matches, they had to put more pressure.

In the 3rd T20 match between Australia and Pakistan,, team Australia once again won the match by 7 wickets and through this Match winning, they just won the t20 series and unfortunately Pakistan unable to achieve any single victory out of three t20 matches. Well in the last t20 match, Pakistan did very poor batting and scored only 117-10 runs where Haseebullah Khan(24) and specially Babar Azam(41) was the higher scorer and rest of players lost their wickets without achieving any excepted results. I must say, Australia Showed Amazing bowling performance, Aaron Hardie got 3 wickets. Apart from that, Australia did good batting too. Although their opener Matthew Short(2) lost wicket earlier and so for other one but Marcus Stoinis(61) handle everything by scored a half century and made silence his oppennt by his batting performance. And with his effort alone with good bowling skill, Australia won the series which is a big achievement by them against Pakistan

West Indies International team players want to play in league matches because they pay good and they prefer to play in league matches as comparison to International matches. We saw most of legendary players which were part of West Indies International team when they  won World Cup of 2016 but after that many players dispersed and we saw low quality team of West Indies on International level. Pollard was a top batters of West Indies and West Indies cricket board wasted him by paying low . We saw samuels who was the match winner of World Cup 2016 and Carlos waals also match winner but most of best  players are not part of International team. West Indies is full of talented players but government is not supporting them ecomically ,and that's why they are ready to play league matches except International matches.

This tour of England team to West Indies is surely have huge positive impact on their new generation players with they lost ODI series but have amazing comeback into T20I series with the score of 3–1 we have strong batting from them in these games which helps them for having good lead of 3–0, and then we have won for West Indies in fourth game which was consolation win for them but in last game rain halted all.

Now, it's time for West Indies to have some work on their white ball performance because this is their best chance for having good things and better game in future while their test team is having not good time with chances are also not good for them to have better results in red-ball due to their domestic issues which bringing too many players withdrawing from this format quickly.

As a fan of Pakistan team, I will say that it is a very bad sign for Pakistan team to be whitewashed by Australia cricket team in T20 series. I never imagined Pakistan cricket team to play so badly in every match of this T20 series. Pakistan cricket team has been considered as a target of criticism only by playing this T20 series. So I think Pakistan team needs to do some different research for Twenty20 format.

You are right, mate, but I am a little confused about why players in the T20 or ODI formats did not show their best performance in other formats. For example, 3 or 2 players were changed, but the point is that the only aim of the player is to do his best and score high, whether it's ODI or T20. The T20 format is a faster one, but so what? His only job is to stand at the wickets and hit the ball. In the Pakistan and Australia match, Pakistan lost all their matches, and as you said, in the first match, 7 overs were given to each team. The Australian team scored with a loss of 4 wickets, while the Pakistani team lost 9 wickets. This is the difference, and Pakistani players, I think, were too fast, hahahah, hitting one or two balls and then giving away their wickets..

Yeah, obviously pakistan can do better it than his current bad performance if their batting lineup played sensibly, just like Baber Azam does in the third t20 match of the series, but unfortunately, due to a lack of Australian pitch experience, their players were not able to execute their plan and tactic which were more beneficial for Australian team because their consistent good length pushed them to give away his wicket easily, which actually the rest of the Pakistani lineup does in his recent matches. No doubt bowling was outstanding from the Pakistani side, but they have to be more serious about his batting mistakes, which can possibly neglect their batting collapse in the coming days. I know it's a huge shame moment for them to be whitewashed and beaten by their opponent's second team.

West Indies didn't play well in the T20 series and hence they faced this loss. When they won the ODI series by 2-1, then we thought that West Indies might show a similar performance in the T20 series. They lost the straight first three T20 matches and it was all over for them. Phil Salt was the highest scorer. He made total of 162 runs which included a century and a half century too. West Indies will be playing a test match with Bangladesh at  North Sound on 22 Nov.

West Indies team usually excels in T20 cricket but struggled against England recently. They played well in ODI series but lost three T20 matches in a row. Fifth T20 match was cancelled due to rain with West Indies scoring 44 runs in five overs. England won series 3-1 taking advantage of West Indies surprise slump. By the way I was not expecting such kind of performance by West Indies because we know they are the best team for T20 formats. And mostly we saw that local leagues prefer West Indies players for their leagues.

Fifth T20 match between West Indies and England

Everyone probably knows that West Indies are much stronger in T20 format as compared to other formats but they recently performed very poorly in T20 series against England. West Indies cricket team performed well in ODI series against England team but West Indies cricket team lost three consecutive matches in T20I series. The fifth T20 match between these two teams was held yesterday. In that match, the West Indies cricket team batted first and collected 44 runs in five overs, then rain came.

The fifth T20I match between England and West Indies was abandoned due to rain, resulting in England winning the series 3–1 against the West Indies in this T20I series.

Pakistan disappointed the visitors by winning the toss and choosing to bat and they did not bat well against Australia's bowlers from the start and after losing the previous two matches, the team lost the third match as well. Two of the top order batsmen managed to reach double figures in the middle order, which was embarrassing for the team and the Pakistan team could not continue the game for the full 20 overs and managed to play only 18.1 overs losing all wickets. Finally, they are whitewashed by Australia.

Batting for a small target, the Australian team got their desired victory with a lot of power and did not care much about the Pakistani bowlers. I am not very optimistic about Pakistan team because I didn't see much team spirit in them and there was very less desire to win and I think they have less tendency to work hard.

Pakistan poor performance in T20 series against Australia ended with big loss in third match making Australia win all three games. Pakistan won toss and chose to bat but their batsmen struggled against Australia strong bowling. Most batsmen did not score many runs with only two scoring more than 10. Pakistan could not even play full 20 overs getting bowled out in 18.1 overs. Australia easily achieved small target. Pakistan performance was worrying because they did not seem to want to win or work hard enough. Their batting bowling and fielding were not good enough.  Australia was too good for Pakistan winning 3-0. Pakistan must learn from their mistakes to do better next time.

After Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat, I thought Pakistan would be able to give a big target today. But Pakistan lost the wicket of Sahibzada Farhan in the second over. Even then Babar Azam was able to bat well. Babar Azam was able to score 41 runs from just 28 balls. However, after Pakistan lost their second wicket, no other batsman could survive at the crease for long.

After 6 overs, Pakistan's total was 58 runs. And after 15 overs, Pakistan scored only 95 runs. Pakistani batsmen scored only 37 runs in 9 overs. Experienced batsmen like Salman Agha scored only 1 run from 9 balls. Abbas Afridi scored 1 run from 8 balls. Pakistani batsmen batted like fools.

Australia easily reached the target of victory by batting at a small target. Along with Pakistani batsmen, the bowlers bowled very badly. Shaheen Shah Afridi gave away 43 runs in 3 overs. The overall condition of the Pakistan team is very bad now.

Australians did well to win the T20 series 3-0 after losing the ODI series. Pakistan had a terrible batting in this T20 series, in second T20 only three batsmen were able to make it to double figure while four batsmen were out on duck. Pakistan team need to understand that winning a series doesn't mean they can relax in next series. After winning ODI series a whitewash in T20 series is difficult to comprehend but in Pakistan cricket everything is possible.

Pakistan is lagging behind in this series only because of their poor batting. Although Pakistan's bowlers could not bowl well in the first match. However, the match was played for 7 overs. So, good bowling from the bowlers was not expected in this match.

Pakistan had a big chance to win the second match. But Pakistan lost the second match also due to the poor batting of the batsmen. Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat in the last match of the series. Despite making a good start, Pakistan gave a small target of only 118 runs. It is impossible to win against a team like Australia with such a small target. Australia reached the target of victory in just 11.2 overs. Marcus Stoinis was unbeaten after scoring 61 runs in just 27 balls.

With the win, Australia have washed out Pakistan 3-0 and won the T20 series. Earlier, Pakistan had won the ODI series 2-1. In the final match, overreduction doesn't seem to be the reason for the low scoring. Slow start is the reason, and just think of the first T20 between the two teams. It was just a 7-over match, and the Australia team was able to reach 93 runs, losing just four wickets. While chasing the score, the Pakistan team was able to reach 64 runs, losing 9 wickets. So, I see that the Australia team is good enough with the T20 matches than ODI matches.

Pakistan could not cover the score of 93 runs in just 7 overs due to limited overs due to rain and Maxwell's aggressive batting in the first match. But in the second match, Pakistan had many chances to win but lost the second match only due to batting failure. In the second match, Pakistan managed to restrict Australia to just 147 runs but could not win by targeting this 147 runs. Even after winning the toss in the third match, Pakistan could score well, so Pakistan was easily defeated in today's match and whitewashed.

Pakistani International cricket team is white washed in T20 series because Pakistani batters didn't not play well in any match . In the first match, rain interrupted in the match and Australian team made good total on board and Pakistani team could not chase that target and Maxwell was the player of match in first match but after that Pak team did not work on their weaknesses and batters repeated the same mistakes and Pak team lose 2nd match and after  that match Pak team lose the series and after that we expected that Pak team will close the series by 2-1 but the result was different and Pak team lose last match of the series and Australian team chase the target in just 11.2 overs .

Very bad for the Pakistan team, they got defeated in such a brutal way. I did not expect this from the team, at least they should have won a single match just for the nation. Hahaha. The Australian team once again proved that they are undefeated easily. Babar Azam and M. Rizwan are players who have more experience in the team compared to the others, but they only scored 2 or 3 runs, and Rizwan was out for 0 after wasting two balls. Babar also did not perform well. If the pitch is not friendly, then how did the Australian team chase or set a high target? What were the bowlers doing? After seeing their poor performance, they need to focus on their fitness first and then on their performance.
